A break in relations between Sweden and the U S. is deemed unlikely
in diplomatic quarters. Tbe state
(department haa not revealed its attitude on that point. Sweden stands
•as an added menace in an already
troublous Russian situation a.id ber
trained army of several hundred
thousand men are not wanted ln thej
struggle now.
Hence there is likely to be a go-
slow policy toward Sweden. Nor is
it expected Argentine will actually
break with Germany, because despite
idering diplomacy ot the German for
leign office.
With revelation of three big plots
- the Zimmerman, the kaiser-czar
and Luxburg "spurlos versenkt," the
German foreign office appears due for
! attack at home for being so careless
as not to cover its tracks.
Advices here indicate that Sweden
is' planning fo furnish an "oat" for
herself with a claim that Lowen at
Buenos Aires was not cognizant of
the acts charged to hiiu and that
perhaps a subordinate might have
taken the node for transmission.

It is recalled that her former minister, Ritter, here played a strongly
pro-German part after Count Von
Bernstorff was sent home and that a
German agent, Dr. Barthelme, formerly connected with the German
embassy, was associated with Ritter
for a time.
The worst feature of the whole
Swedish situation is tbat it pointf
out how Germany may have received
ship news and other vital military
information under the cloak of "official messages" sent by a neutral.

yielded to Argentine demands that j Quartermaster General Van Luden-
. ;j--'if. .
no more of her vessels be sunk. Argentine, however, is certain to ask
Luxburg's recall, diplomats say.
ln any event, publication of the
code- messages has served the purpose of let-tag Sweden know that the
*_*. 8. understands where she stands
with respect to Germany; and it can
.serve as a justifiable ground for
shutting down on supplies for Sweden. Further, besides warning any
other neutrals who may be hand in
Skive with Germany, it serves to
point out delicately to Argentine tbat
stive la playing a useless game in not
-llgnlng herself with her northern
M-Iihbor, Brazil, who already has
sj-rdfte-B relations with the kaiser.
SHU another angle of momentous
possibilities in the affair lies in the
fact that it may stimulate the peace
party in Germany and that group
/eVhich has opposed not only ruthlees-
ineRs on the seas, but the stupid blun-
dorff in a railway accident in Belgium were graver than at first supposed.
Hindenburg and Ludendoeff are
the two master minds of the German
military machine. Many reports
bave credited Ludendorc, tbe silent,
one, with being the real brains of the
combination. Hindenburg has never
i moved without his quartermaster
general. He had him in his successful campalgne on the Russian
front, and Ludendorff has been constantly Hlndenburg's alter ego on
the eastern batt"e line.

MINISTRY
By United Press.
Paris, Sept. 10.—Failure of Premier Ribot to form a new ministry
was formally announced today. His
resignation, with the entire cabinet
is believed to have been submitted.
The Echo de Paris announced in
it early edition tnat the present minister of war, M. Painleve, would be
entrusted with the task of forming
a new ministry.
Ribot informed President Poincare
of his inability to farm a new cabinet, laat night. The Socialists, who
bad forded the ministerial crisis, recused to collaborate.
' At midnight the Socialist Leader
confirmed the fact that they were unwilling to lend responsibility for the
construction of a cabinet."
Albert Thomas, minister of munitions and a Socialist, had previously
withdrawn his support from Ribot!
in pursuance of his party's decision.
His decision was reported late in the
afternoon, but Kibot still insisted he
would be able to racoiistruct his ministry.
I_ate in the evening, however, M.
Painleve announced his withdrawal
of support.

Luxburg's recall, diplomats say.
ln any event, publication of the
code- messages has served the purpose of let-tag Sweden know that the
*_*. 8. understands where she stands
with respect to Germany; and it can
.serve as a justifiable ground for
shutting down on supplies for Sweden. Further, besides warning any
other neutrals who may be hand in
Skive with Germany, it serves to
point out delicately to Argentine tbat
stive la playing a useless game in not
-llgnlng herself with her northern
M-Iihbor, Brazil, who already has
sj-rdfte-B relations with the kaiser.
SHU another angle of momentous
possibilities in the affair lies in the
fact that it may stimulate the peace
party in Germany and that group
/eVhich has opposed not only ruthlees-
ineRs on the seas, but the stupid blun-
dorff in a railway accident in Belgium were graver than at first supposed.
Hindenburg and Ludendoeff are
the two master minds of the German
military machine. Many reports
bave credited Ludendorc, tbe silent,
one, with being the real brains of the
combination. Hindenburg has never
i moved without his quartermaster
general. He had him in his successful campalgne on the Russian
front, and Ludendorff has been constantly Hlndenburg's alter ego on
the eastern batt"e line.

confirmed the fact that they were unwilling to lend responsibility for the
construction of a cabinet."

withdrawn his support from Ribot!
in pursuance of his party's decision.
